Hi Carol,
You are right, Virgin Media, who were NTL cache all the web pages you visit.
If that cache is being pounded, any web site you load will be slow. It is
very inefficient, but it's what they do. And no, you can't get round it
with a proxy, I've tried <Smile>.
All the best
Steve

Hi Ambro,
Mine is already set that way. Yes, it seems to be a random thing, so maybe
the pages just aren't always available.
I do think though that I remember Steve Nutt (or perhaps someone else)
commenting on NTL's "going round the houses" with WEB pages.
Anyway, perhaps someone will find a solution. I've personally spoken with
them by far enough this week to warrant having any more time to talk to
them! <Smiles>
Incidentally, folks, I think they've "gone down the pan" a bit since being
taken over. Their latest communication (received just after we'd had a
two-day outage and I had been told I'd have to wait ten days for an engineer
to renew my modem), said their bill this month would be higher. Guess what!
They're wanting to ensure they have a month's payment now in advance!
<GRRR>
